Anthony Weiner’s new Twitter account
“I don’t have this burning, overriding desire to go out and run for office. It’s not the single animating force in my life as it was for quite some time. But I do recognize, to some degree, it’s now or maybe never for me, in terms of running for something. I’m trying to gauge not only what’s right and what feels comfortable right this second, but I’m also thinking, How will I feel in a year or two years or five years? Is this the time that I should be doing it? And then there’s the other side of the coin, which is … am I still the same person who I thought would make a good mayor?”

“New York Post says “@RepWeiner trying to make comeback”—he’s a sexual pervert & they can never be healed. Huma should drop him before it happens again.”
“The final confession was made to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Anthony Weiner’s political mentor.
“When he told the truth, … both men began to cry,” according to the book.”

Thank goodness that Anthony Weiner distraction is over…

Now that the Anthony Weiner saga is behind us we can, as the media told us, move on to more important things. I for one, did not realize how important the Casey Anthony trial is. I better start following it.
“It was sort of a perfect storm. Democrats don’t support their own in these situations. Republicans love to be on the right side of a scandal like this, because it doesn’t happen that often. And you get the media, and particularly the political media, most of whom are morons. So you give them something that they can actually understand — a penis.” - Keith Olbermann on the Anthony Weiner scandal.
“I had hoped to be able to continue to work… the distraction that I have created has made that impossible.”
PPG and I made this Anthony Weiner-Al Pacino Mashup back in August of 2010. So, I figured today would be a good day to re-post it.
